Make your gamble...if I am right and you are wrong, and you aren't baptized, you lose everything. If you are right and I am wrong, I have been baptized, and I lose nothing. I also lose nothing if I am right and you are wrong; because I have been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the...

You would therefore have to show where the Bible teaches that baptismal regeneration is a false doctrine. Please note that if you show that we can be saved through faith apart from baptism, you will have toppled a straw man. My position is that baptism has the power to save (1 Peter 3:20-21...

I don't know....were they in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins? And, were they the answer of a good conscience towards the Lord?

Lol...the holy scriptures apply to everyone except you... ROTFL... (not really...but your idea is so undignified that I could be ROTFL if I were a lesser type of man)

It is the true result of being saved...and if I did not have it, there would be reason to question as to whether I had genuinely been regenerated and renewed (see 2 Corinthians 13:5) The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in me when I walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Romans...

Often, the thing that we most often see in other people that is such an offence is the very thing that plagues us. When we point the finger at another man, we cannot fail to have three fingers pointing back at us Luk 6:39, And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall...

Hi @CharismaticLady, Those who are about to be baptized have a good conscience before the Lord because they have died to self and have crucified self. In baptism, they take the next step...they are buried and risen. Do a Bible search on baptism and/or sprinkle; and I think that you will get a...

It does speak of the born again believer....if he is a good tree, he will produce good fruit and cannot produce evil fruit. So, you're saying that everyone is a false prophet... I know that I sin less than I have ever sinned before now that I have been greatly sanctified. I cannot claim to...

There are verses/passages that speak to the contrary.

Jer 23:14, I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

I do believe that, while we do not obtain salvation through keeping a set of rules, that preaching the law can be beneficial in converting a soul to Christ. The law is given as a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ (Galatians 3:24). It shows us that we are sinners in need of a Saviour (Romans...

Right. And being alive rather than dead in trespasses and sins means that you will not walk according to the former lifestyle any longer.

Personally, I believe that the kjv is inspired and inerrant; and that many of the modern translations have been watered down.

Well, upon further reflection I believe that this false prophetic word was an attempt on the part of the enemy to keep the saints who are in favour of Trump (and who also do not hold him up as any kind of idol; recognizing that he is a flawed human being but who nevertheless loves the Lord) from...

See Romans 11:20-22 as it is compared to Ephesians 1:13-14, Ephesians 4:20, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Corinthians 5:5. It is not that our continuing in His goodness maintains our salvation; but that our salvation maintains our continuing in His goodness; and that therefore if we don't continue in...

This is akin to gnosticism; which teaches that because the real you is not the flesh, what we do in the flesh doesn't matter. Such a doctrine almost destroyed the early church. Says the person who denies indwelling sin (see 1 John 1:8 for what kind of effect this might have on one's...

God does say somewhere in Isaiah that "I create calamity /evil"... And also, it would appear that Jude 1:3-4 teaches double predestination. If there is an answer for these scriptures I have yet to hear it. And I am not saying that I believe wholly in what Calvinism teaches; but sometimes I...

Of course it is possible to receive the Holy Spirit merely by asking (Luke 11:9-13). However, if you want to be able to tell people that you have Him based on a promise, He is absolutely promised to those who receive baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Until then...

You misunderstand me. I am saying that when serpents threaten a third-world village, the believers in that town are able to tame those serpents and cause them to not be a threat to the town. Of course it is not saying that we should go out of our way to handle poisonous snakes. That would be...

I don't really believe that baptism is a work; because it does have the power to save a man (1 Peter 3:20-21). Are you certain of that? How do you know it was the Holy Spirit that you received? btw, I also believe that I received the Holy Spirit before I was baptized. But, even as Peter...
